7 beneficial ways to press forward when you feel like giving up.

Ever been in situations where it seems your hopes are daunting and you feel like throwing-in the towel? Where you wake up sometimes and feel a sense of futility – When you can’t see the point in even trying anymore.

It’s really hard to be confident of success when you have yet to experience it. (More like blind faith). And so certain situations like self-doubt, set-backs or slow growths make you want to give up.

Often times, we are getting closer to reaching our goals when we decide to give up and most times, set–backsandfailureslaunchusintogreatness. It’s been proven times and times again. There hasn’t been any success without any set-back or challenge recorded. Nothing goes right all the time and there’s always great life lessons to be learnt from such situations to help us navigate through life better.

Congratulations! You’re strong and alive and that means you can be bold enough to move forward and pursue your dreams.

Before you quit, ask yourself why you started in the first place. Does your end justify your struggle?( the means). And are you going to regret quitting and wish you tried more?

We can keep the faith and pressforward no matter the set-back or situation. Let me show you 7beneficialwayshowto:

• Buildresilience: Resilience is the will, the courage and the determination to press forward no matter what life presents. It is the ability to face all manner of adversities yet remain strong. Little wonder resilient people always bounce back even stronger than ever. Youneverknowhowstrongyouareuntilbeingstrongisyouronlyoption. To be able to press forward when you feel like giving up, you need to build that mentalfortitude called Resilience.

• Cancelself–doubt: we often lack belief in ourselves when we need it the most. No matter how big your dreams are, how talented you are, if you don’t believe in your self, you’ll never get there. That’s a painful fact! Can I tell you something? One simple truth is that, negativeemotionsalwaysbreednegativeactions. If you need to press forward, you have to haveconfidenceinyourself. It’s not easy to do especially when you feel like you have nothing to offer but it’s do-able. It’s achievable. Focus on your ultimate goal and defeat self-doubt. If you believe you can, you absolutely can!

• Celebrateyourlittlewinsandbegrateful: Be proud of your little achievements and victories no matter how small you think they are. The reason we feel like giving up is because we don’t see how far we’ve come. We don’t celebrate those little wins and cultivateanattitudeofgratitude. If you can do this little, then you can even do more.

• Don’tcompareyourselfwithothers: It is difficult not to look sideways and compare yourself to others but always bear in mind that life is an individual race and everyone is on their journey. You think of giving up because you think everyone is doing better. Believe me, you don’t know their story. The saying goes…” Theonlypersonyoushouldstrivetobebetterthaniswhoyouwereyesterday“. Life is not a competition. Embrace your uniqueness and love yourself even more. Be as consistent as you can, your goals may be different from theirs. Focus on achieving it/them.

• Bepatient, persistentandpersevering: Success doesn’t come easy. You need a lot of patience and perseverance. There would be highs and lows on the journey but one common trait of the world’s most successful people is perseverance; To continue persistently in your purpose inspite of difficulties, obstacles or discouragement. And be patient because unless you win a lotto now, almost nothing is instant. Great achievements come through months/years of hardwork.

• Worryaboutthethingsyoucancontrol: The reason most people feel like giving up is because they focus on what they have no control over. I’ve always said it and would say it again, focus on those things that depend on you. Worrying about things beyond your control doesn’t actually solve the problem. It only creates negative vibes which stresses you out even more. If you shift your focus to those things you can control, then you can actually find solutions. Don’t get trapped in that “everybodysays, everybodythinks” syndrome. You have no control over what everybody says or think. That’s their problem. Worry about what you want and can control.

• Committomovingforwardnomatterhowhardthesituation: What is commitment? Sticking to what you said you would do long after the mood in which you said it in have left you. It is staying loyal and stickingtoyourgoals and achieving them at the end of the day. Nothing good comes easy, you already know this. It’s going to be hard. Damn hard. But you can achieve it. Commit to your goals and you won’t dwell on giving up.

As WinstonChurchill will say…” Don’tgiveup, don’tevergiveup!”

I love all of these, but I really agree with celebrating the little things! People overlook the smaller things in life when they’re really the most important parts. I know I’ve become a lot happier since I started allowing myself to acknowledge the smaller achievements I’ve made, instead of always worrying about the “big” things!

You have some really good tips here! Don’t compare yourself with others is so critical… and I love the quote about the only perosn you should be better than is who you were yesterday. Self-betterment is a great thing! xx Julia

I’ve been going through a lot the last few months, and the points you make here are what I needed to hear to pull myself out of the funk I’ve been in. I do a lot of worrying; I’m an anxious person by nature. When you say not to worry about things I can’t control, that speaks to me because I DO worry, all the time. Along with comparing myself to other people, not having ANY patience at all… this post hits on all these points for me. Thank you so much for sharing your insight with us. 🙂
